Re-creating a Ritz-Carlton club sandwich

Katie Lee Joel says that whenever she orders room service at a hotel, she selects a club sandwich. "They're pretty consistent and usually a safe choice," she writes in her new cookbook, The Comfort Table (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008). She says the best club sandwich is served at the Ritz-Carlton on Central Park South in New York City, where they make a traditional club with the addition of avocado.

"I think it might be the only room-service food I've ever craved," writes the wife of singer/songwriter Billy Joel. At home in Miami and New York, she turns the ingredients into a Chicken Club Salad.
